The Organising Committee General Secretary, Lalit Bhanot, while briefing the media on Wednesday, stated that the investigations into the corruption charges will begin soon after Games. Mr Bhanot on Wednesday also confirmed that the OC officials will cooperate with the investigating agencies.
"Immediately after the Games get over, the investigation into graft charges will start," Mr Lalit Bhanot on Wednesday said.
The CG Organising Committee is alleged to have paid AM Films, an Indian-owned firm in London, over œ450,000 for services during last year's Queen's Baton Relay inaugural without proper tendering and paperwork.
Two aides of CGOC chief Suresh Kalmadi were suspended after an enquiry found that an email from the Indian high commission in London, on the basis of which the firm was hired, was tampered with.
Meanwhile, the CGOC treasurer Anil Khanna quit in the wake of allegations that his son's firm was unduly favoured in ordering the synthetic turf for the tennis stadium for the Games.
